3. Rouché theorem and linear equations systems resolution
Evaluation Methodology
Continuous assessment: T1 (0-10 val.) + T2 (0-10 val.) is mandatory and closed book. If the sum of T1+T2 yields a score between 7.5 and 9.4 (7.5 <= T1+T2 <= 9.4), students may also take a third test (0-3 val.). Any student who engages in cheating will be excluded from the assessment.
Assessment by examination: a written closed-book test marked out of 20 on all the material taught (pass: >=10). In both periods (continuous assessment and examinations), in the event of uncertainty, students may be called upon to take an oral examination (only one call in each period and compulsory). Failure to attend will result in a mark of 9 (nine).

Teaching Method
Lectures are expository and the content is presented with a view to its application. PL classes are aimed at solving exercises using a participatory methodology as well as computational solving.
